Surtr's vocal cords
I think Surtr could have sustained vocal cord damage throughout the years without an upper beak.
I highly doubt that an open cavity is good for the vocal cords and the mouth in general. It would explain the occasional crack in his voice.

Bumping these pins that I'm making. I'm so excited to have these in hand soon!
Fusion Sammy is a 1.5" hard enamel pin, and Raven Beak and the Side Order fish mech are dyed metal pins, with all the little details screen printed on! (It makes for a smooth pin with more detail than usual)!
I'm in the middle of a shop revamp, but my hope is that I can fill all of these slots.

Steel and Boyd stuff they r favs okay
In case the lil comic thing doesn’t make sense ->
Boyd asks Steel about his beak and Steel gives him an answer while tapping his beak making a *tunk tunk* sound. Boyd listens to him and then taps at his own beak which also makes a sound *tink tink. Boyd is delighted and begins to marvel about how they’re “the same!”

JEEZUS, we joke a lot about how brutal children's books with animal characters can get, from rodent warfare in Redwall to bird murder in Ga'Hoole, but sometimes the level of violence still manages to catch me off guard. Wings of Fire book 1 had a dragon melting another's face off, and now book 2 has an infant smashed out of its eggshell and strangled to death. This is not a complaint--I think this kind of death and violence is vital to the type of stories being told here--just an observation...!

Let's start this blog with fanart of my favorite character, Surtr, aka Metal Beak (movie version). I LOVE him, even if he is evil to the bone.
The mask was a nightmare to draw, but I am kind of proud how this turned out.

yell us about the gaurdians like everything the chaws their mentors everything
The Guardians of the Ga'Hoole Tree are/were the Hamato Clan in this AU. The last of their kind, with the Foot Clan (the AU's version of the Pure Ones of St. Aggies. But like.. with more Foot Clan values instead of Barn Owl Supremacy lmao) dwindling out before being restarted by the Shredder.
The Chaws were/are similar to those shown in the books and the movie, with some added spirituality because Splinter was clearly a spiritual person in canon, along with some HEAVY martial arts inspo for the fighting.
The backstory for the Hamatos and the Foot are essentially the same in this AU compared to TMNT 2012 canon; with the Hamatos (Guardians) going to war with the ~eeevvillll~ Foot, defeating them, Splinter's father adopting the now orphaned Oroku Saki, Saki learning of his true heritage and restarting the Foot, Tang Shen enterring her Roxanne arc, warrior cats fire scene but with Shredder, Splints, and Tang Shen...
THE TREE BURNS DOWN. Splinter is forced to leave his home, believing his entire family/clan (including his daughter Miwa) is DEAD. Typical Tuesday morning ngl. Thanks Saki!
A few months to a year later, Splinter rescues four orphaned oriental scops owls, and becomes their mentor/father. He teaches them the same lessons this AU's Ga'hoole Chaws wouldve taught them (with the exception of colliering and blacksmithing), much like how the canonical Splinter taught them ninjutsu while raising them. They still arent allowed to leave the nest tho since Splinter's fairly overprotective in this AU (understandably).
Still deciding what kind of owls Splinter, Karai/Miwa, and Tang Shen should be but the Shredder is the Ural Owl
These lads are MASSIVE (20-25 inches in height, wingspan is 3.7ft - 4.5ft depending on species and sex. 8th largest owl in the world iirc?)
For comparison, oriental scops owls are 6-8 inches tall. Yall ready to see this MASSIVE evil dude fling babies around like barbie dolls or what?
I know I went kinda off topic but the Guardians are essentially wiped out for most of the story lol, not much to talk in regards to mentors or students cuz Splints and the Owl-ified Turtles are all that's left 🏃♂️💨
